Dear Concerned

Forwarding the innovative work of Mr. Amit Katyal for your evaluation, consideration and an appropriate action.

In case the subjects do not come under your purview, please do let us know the names and contact addresses of the concerned companies, entrepreneurs and professionals, who may be involved in such operational events and have such interests.

I, Amit Katyal, am a graduate in Chemical Engineering with around 20 years of experience in hydrocarbon industry. I have done my B.Tech (equivalent to B.S) from India’s best technical school ie. Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and have worked for 10 years in various departments like operations, research and technical services for India’s largest Natural Gas transmission, marketing and processing company ie. GAIL (India) Limited. Since year 2004, I have been developing various technologies and softwares for hydrocarbon industry. I have solely developed a VLE simulation software, EQ-COMP, which gives accurate results for any combination of non-polar and mildly polar hydrocarbons and inorganic gases. The results are equal or more accurate than results given by highend simulation softwares like HYSYS and PROSIM. I have included 112 hydrocarbons and inorganic gases as possible components and the software gives accurate results for any combination of these 112 components where maximum 112 components can be included in the multicomponent mixture. Apart from EQ-COMP, I have also developed other useful softwares like HYD-PREDIC, LIQ-PROP, MIX-CP and BUBBLE-SIM. All the softwares are made using basic calculation tools like MS Excel and VBA as I had access to only these basic tools while developing the softwares due to my limited means arising out of my non-association with any organisation, university or research lab. However, limitations exist as EQ-COMP being most calculation intensive of all of my softwares takes around 2 hours of execution time owing to slow execution speed of MS Excel macros and all the softwares lack the robust security required to sell the softwares on per license basis. The softwares are showcased on www.eq-comp.com website.

Apart from softwares, I have also invented two technologies. One of the technologies gives a cost-effective desalination method for highly saline brines coming out of fracking oil and gas wells whereas the other technology gives a horizontal solution to vertical tray distillation columns and other gas-liquid contact operations being carried out in tray columns. I have filed PCT applications for both the technologies and the technologies are currently international patent pending. Brief write-ups of both the technologies are given on www.eq-comp.com.
